Today I’ve also decided to move away from the eco-system. And I’m glad I got the sticky key within the 14 days period, because otherwise, even if they would have replaced the keyboard for free, I’d have to send it in service for a week or more.

Two people told me before - don’t buy it, you’ll regret it. But it’s not normal for so many machines to be faulty out of the box. The Touchbar is a nice gimmick and useful (even if I prefer physical keys for escape and volume) and I can get used to it. The keyboard, you can get used to it but it has big reliability issues. I really, really, really wanted to love this laptop.īut it’s hell no, not worth $2000. Now I’m thinking of getting the Surface Pro 6 or a ThinkPad. Gotta give it to Apple, their no questions asked policy is actually that. So I went in the morning, got my full refund without any issues or objections. But when a $2000 laptop with the “upgraded” keyboard still has sticky keys, I’ve had to pass. The battery life being somewhere at around 8 hours (that’s fine, but it’s a $2000 laptop) and so on. Someone else I work with got one and sent it in service after less than a week for the same problem, the keyboard.Īnd then there are other problems as it overheating when playing 4K content… or even under medium (25%) load. My mentor got one and had video problems, problems with the video card. Now, I know what you’re thinking… you’ve just got a lemon and they can change this for you. I’ve done the NVRAM reset, I’ve changed my keyboard preferences, the same problem. I’d press “I” and sometimes it would register once, other times, three times.

Until last night when I tried to write a longer document on it. Since I wanted the “reliable” keyboard (more in a second) and the extra boost in performance, I’ve went with the TouchBar model.

About a week ago I’ve decided it’s time to upgrade from my 2015 Air. I’ve returned my MacBook Pro 2018… and I don’t feel sorry about it.
